TEACHINGS AT OUR INSTITUTE
KATHAK Dance
Trimurti kala kendra emphasises on overall spiritual development of the students. The aim is not to dance mechanically but to be one with the art.
Each student learns the following aspects of the dance:
- Nritta (pure dance, technique): include movement exercises, basic footwork tatkar; turns chakkars; rhythmic patterns and timing; recitation of the language of the dance bols.
- Nritya (dance with rhythm and expression): use of interpretive gestures, expression, and rendering of tradtional songs and poems.
- Natya (drama): learning the art of storytelling, the nine sentiments nava rasa, working with masculine/feminine energies (ardhanariswara-shiva/shakti).
FOLK DANCE
For change in the atmosphere in the regular classes of classical we teach the folk dance of India, so that students can be versitile and have the idea of our culture and tradition.
